Inet and Forms (can we use one without the other?)

[jlindahl]

Must I place the Inet control on a form, or can I programatically get it initiated?

Once you've made a refernce to the object just declare like any other object.

Dim MyInet As Inet

Ok, now when I try to use MyInet I get an error.

Private Sub Main()
    Dim Inet1 As Inet
    Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault
    With Inet1
        .Execute , "PUT", "C:\test.txt"
        .Execute , "CLOSE"
    End With
    
    MsgBox ("Complete")
    
End Sub

my error is 'run-time error 91: object variable or With block variable not set'

 

[DrJavaJoe]

Sorry about that wasn't thinking try this:

Dim Inet1 As Object
Private Sub Main()
Set Inet1 = CreateObject("InetCtls.Inet&quot
Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault
With Inet1
.Execute , "PUT", "C:\test.txt"
.Execute , "CLOSE"
End With
MsgBox ("Complete&quot
End Sub

ok, now i've got it working two ways, 1.no form, just a single module and 2.a form that will unload itself when complete.

now my question is, which one is better to run from an executeable? This will be a scheduled task that will run nightly, sending a file to a server and then receiving another file. is there a difference between the way the two programs run as far as a posibility for errors?

 

[DrJavaJoe]

Well I don't see a need for a form unless you want to display something such as the progress of the task or you need some sort of interface with the user.

Well...it's trickier to get events...(but if you are not using the single event that Inet exposes, this shouldn't be a problem)
